Their records haven't held up that well. There's maybe two or three songs on each album I think I'd still enjoy, but those flashy key changes and Scott Miller's wispy vocals mostly just grate on me at this point.

I suppose I could listen to "She'll Be a Verb", "The Waist and the Knees" and "Erica's Word" forever, but I can't sit through any of the full LPs.

My feeling on the New Pornographers, who are about as high-profile as the bands they've influenced get, is that the less they sound like Game Theory, the better they are.

Don't even bring up the Loud Family. A half dozen or so records and not a hook to be found.
